It handles the NTLM authentication required to use the SOAP services and provides an object-oriented interface to the complex types required to form a request.

In order to make a request, you need to instantiate a new `\jamesiarmes\PhpEws\Client`object: ``` use \jamesiarmes\PhpEws\Client; $ews = new Client($server, $username, $password, $version); ``` The `Client` class takes four parameters for its constructor: - `$server`: The url to the exchange server you wish to connect to, without the protocol. Example: mail.example.com. If you have trouble determining the correct url, you could try using [autodiscovery](https://github.com/jamesiarmes/php-ews/tree/master/examples/autodiscover). - `$username`: The user to connect to the server with. This is usually the local portion of the users email address. Example: "user" if the email address is "". - `$password`: The user's plain-text password. - `$version` (optional): The version of the Exchange sever to connect to. Valid values can be found at `\jamesiarmes\PhpEws\Client::VERSION_*`. Defaults to Exchange 2007. Once you have your `\jamesiarmes\PhpEws\Client` object, you need to build your request object. The type of object depends on the operation you are calling. If you are using an IDE with code completion it should be able to help you determine the correct classes to use using the provided docblocks. The request objects are build similar to the XML body of the request. See the resources section below for more information on building the requests. Examples -------- [](#examples) There are a number of examples included in the examples directory. These examples are meant to be run from the command line. In each, you will need to set the connection information variables to match those of your Exchange server. For some of them, you will also need to set ids or additional data that will be used in the request.
